MONTREAL -- Paris Saint-Germain won the Trophee des Champions for the third straight year 2-0 over Lyon on Saturday.

PSG, which achieved a domestic treble last season by claiming the French league, League Cup, and French Cup, put on a clinical display, converting its first chance when Serge Aurier headed home from close range after Lyon defenders failed to clear a free kick in the 11th minute.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas will not attend Saturday's Ligue 1 curtain-raiser against Paris Saint-Germain after his PSG counterpart rejected a request to allow Nabil Fekir to play for OL.

Fekir, 22, incurred an automatic an one-game ban after picking up three yellow cards in fewer than 10 competitive outings late last season, and so will be absent when Lyon step out to face PSG in the Trophee des Champions, the traditional pre-cursor to the French top-flight campaign, in Montreal on Saturday.
